Mini Lesson
Asking for help is a smart and brave choice. We do not have to solve every problem alone.
When should you ask for help?
- Ask for help if you feel hurt, unsafe, or very worried.
- Ask for help if you are confused and do not know what to do next.
- Ask for help right away if a problem feels too big to fix safely by yourself.
Who can help?
- At the park, you can ask your grown-up or another trusted adult.
- At home, you can ask a parent or caregiver.
- Pick a grown-up who listens, helps, and keeps you safe.
